I fixed my problem as stated in the last email, but now I've narrowed it
down, and thought I'd post it for the archives.
The user that apache2 runs as needs the following permissions on Windows
2000 (keep in mind they are inheritable to the subdirectories):
* "List Folder Contents" on the root directory of the drive itself (in
my case "E:\"
* "Read and Execute" and "Read" on the bin\ directory in the apache root
("E:\Apache Group\Apache2\bin\")
* "Read" on the conf\ directory in apache root ("E:\Apache
Group\Apache2\conf\")
* "Read" and "Write" to the logs\ directory in the apache root
("E:\Apache Group\Apache2\logs\")
* "Read" and "Rean and Execute" on the modules\ directory in the apache
root ("E:\Apache Group\Apache2\modules\")
I'm willing to bet it'd need "Read" and "Read and Execute" for the
cgi-bin\ directory if you use that, and "Read" on the manual\, errors\,
icons\, and htdocs\ directories if you use those.
Of course, if I am blatantly wrong about any of this please correct the
information, I'm trying to help anyone else who needs it but obviously I
am no guru.

I am trying to get Apache2 (v2.0.54) to run as a service on Windows
2000 as a specific user ("apacheuser", original name huh?), which only
has rights to read and execute on Apache2 root directory, and full
access to the logs directory.
When I start the service as local user (when I am logged in as admin)
it works fine, but when I change the service to log on as "apacheuser"
it doesn't start. There is a message in the Event Viewer that says
"The Apache2 service terminated with service-specific error 1." and
another message that says "The Apache service named reported the
following error: Apache.exe: could not open document config file
bin/conf/httpd.conf . "
I'm not even getting that far with 2.0.54 on Windows XPsp2. I can run
apache from a console window with no problem, but when I try to start it
as a service, either from the console or from ApacheMonitor or the
Services menu, I get the "service-specific error 1" but no other messages!
